Jill Duggar, third eldest of the 19 Duggar kids (and counting), confirmed her courtship with Derick Dillard, a 25-year-old accountant, last month. And they're now engaged, too, which means they can hold hands. They won't have their first kiss until their wedding day, People reports.

The couple began courting last November, after a series of text messages and "very long Skype conversations." (Jill's father, Jim Bob, introduced the couple while Derick was working as a missionary in Nepal.) While it's not quite Internet dating, they fell in love before even meeting in person; Derick describes their IRL romance as "a huge blessing." "We have a large pool of chaperones," he explained, because the Duggar lifestyle mandates chaperones. "You have to come in armed with good jokes and I usually have Skittles as well." Skittles! The sugar high from a sensible mouthful is as crazy as it gets.
